If you are looking at ultra-lites, be wary of the frames on some of them. Some have inherently weak design and can cause problems. I would look at Jayco as they are using the BAL/Norco Ultraframe. Not sure it it is one every single model, but it was on every one on display at the last show here. Jayco also has a 2 year warranty which is worth thinking about. KZ is the only other one I know of that has a 2 year warranty but they are not using the BAL frame.
Some TT brands end up having higher tongue weight when loaded up compared to others. Ours went from 10% based on dry wts. to nearly 15% all loaded up, and that's with just one battery. If you cannot get a sense of what the actual tongue wt. will be, I'd use 15% of the GVWR so you don't end up in an irreversible bind.
Even though it wasn't offered as an option, we ordered a hide-a-bed sofa from another model. When folded out, it's a tight squeeze but works. Allows more sleeping space, and it's more comfortable for sitting in than a jackknife sofa. Would depend on the particular TT layout of course.
